The Michigan Lake Blob

Last weekend we took a (last?) trip to Kate's parents' lake house near Sturgis, Michigan. While prepping the boat for a voyage, Hannah discovered the blob. It was about the shape and size of a human brain. The outside had the appearance of a soft coral. We removed it from the water, dropped it on the grass and proceeded to violently dissect it with a shovel. The inside was a gelatinous substance that had no noticeable odor. Despite suggestions, no one tasted it.



A quick google search of "lake blob" led me to this post about a similar blob. I can see why Chris thought it was full of spiders at first glance. This high res photo is stolen from their lake blog.
